- I have had similar problems. I'm not sure of the trap number but I get a
- page fault. Here is what I have observed:
-
- Machine configuration - Micronics 386-33 w/12MB RAM
- Future Domain TMC-1660 SCSI controller
- NEC CDR-84 CD ROM drive
-
- If I bring the system up from power-off or reset the system for a cold-start,
- I can install the system without any problem.
-
- If I reboot the system from DOS (CTRL-ALT-DEL) and try to install, I can get
- to the installation stage where it is searching for SCSI. In the search for
- SCSI controllers, the FD-TMC 1660 is listed as found, but the system gives
- a PAGE FAULT after searching for 3rd part controllers. This could be a result
- of searching for a 3rd party controller, but I think that it has made some
- stupid assumption about the FD controller and it blows up when it goes to the
- beginning of the next installation phase. (It starts playing around with your
- disks). Evidently, it is not doing some initialization to the FD controller.
-
- To make this long explanation short, reset your computer or start from power
- off when you boot the NT floppy. Hope that it works for you.
